Did you use the dielectric sealant grease on the plug boots? Are you sure that the wire that's arcing is snapped onto the terminal of the plug (metal to metal)? Sounds like a bad connection or a bad wire.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP
I found the problem on the 95 exp the 6 cylender the angle is hard to get in so by putting it in i broke the spark plug seal and did it again when i tried the secound plug (its invisible to the eye) so i changes it using the plug socket and a wrench (my mechanic new all this over the phone !) so its running good again THANKS again
